Popis: Using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock scheme in the framework of pseudocluster calculation developed by us earlier, the Coulomb gap is investigated for compensated doped semiconductors in deep nonmetallic regime. For given degree of compensation, we obtain a power law behavior of the Coulomb gap Δc ∝ Pν, where P is the donor concentration and ν 1/3. Above the Coulomb gap the excitation spectrum exhibits a sharp threshold. Relation between the present quantum mechanical treatment and the classical treatment is discussed.
